The incidence of autism and Asperger's Syndrome seems to be greater than average in California's Silicon Bay area; Redmond, Washington (the location of Microsoft's headquarters); and Cambridge, Massachusetts (the location of MIT) - places with the highest populations of computer programmers and engineers. These are people who may have AS but remain undiagnosed because they found a niche where they can function in society.
